   Letter from the chairman of the organizing committee of Bio-Forum II

    Biotechnology - a challenge for the Polish economy

    In the years 1992 - 1999 we observed a fast economic growth in Poland. To keep the rate of the economic transformation in a new millennium, new and promising directions of development, such as biotechnology, need to be created.

    The key role in the development of a new technology is played by the close co-operation between science and business communities. Bio-Forum is an annual meeting organized by Bio-Tech Consulting company. Its aim is to get together the representatives of science and business working in the field of biotechnology. It is one of the most important steps to start new thinking era in both groups of the potential creators of biotechnology development in Poland.

    Biotechnology becomes an important part of the global HiTech. The principal endeavor for the organizers of Bio-Forum is to introduce some potential partners for the international enterprises.

    The results of the second edition of Bio-Forum events is presented in a book: "Bio-Forum II. Polish Biobusiness as a Partner of International Enterprises".

    Poland, due to its geographical location, could play a very important role in a business co-operation in the field of biotechnology and become the future place of meetings for an exchange of ideas and KNOW-HOW between Western and Eastern countries. Bio-Forum is a good example for such activities.

    An important part of Bio-Forum II conference was the session "Biotechnology in the East" presenting biotechnology research in Ukraine. Ukrainian scientists disclosed not only their basic research, but also technology available for practical applications.

    We hope, that in future meetings of Bio-Forum the representation of biotechnology community, both from the East and the West, will systematically grow and may result in new opportunities for biotechnology development in global economy.
